Silver Frost Appears, Battle DuPont Again!

When the test report appeared on Ding Songlin's desk, the old soldier, who was fond of theoretical warfare, couldn't help but tremble slightly.

He took a few minutes to calm himself and asked Han Chang, "Using only a double-layer structure, we can achieve the Level 4 protection standard?"

Han Chang nodded heavily, "Yes, both the laboratory data and the range tests have proven the superior performance of the Silver Frost Fiber."

"Silver Frost?" Ding Songlin was suspicious.

Han Chang smiled, "It's the name Gao Yuan came up with. Actually, according to the factory serial number, it should be called the X36 type, but Gao Yuan felt that just letters and numbers weren't cool enough, so he named this bulletproof fiber 'Silver Frost'."

"Silver Frost," Ding Songlin murmured, "I must say, the name Silver Frost is indeed much cooler than Kevlar. It's truly a great thing. Han Chang, do you know what having this kind of bulletproof fiber means?"

Han Chang thought for a moment, "It means Kevlar is obsolete. From now on, the title of the world's strongest bulletproof fiber will be held by Silver Frost."

Ding Songlin shook his head and said seriously, "Not just Kevlar, even the third-generation bulletproof material using PE substrate, which is still in the laboratory, is no match for Silver Frost."

"It's like others are still developing 5G, but we've suddenly obtained 5.5G or even 6G technology. The significance is too great."

Han Chang was stunned and pondered Ding Songlin's words.

The entire world was currently developing third-generation bulletproof materials. However, based on the current progress, even if the defensive performance of the third-generation materials could catch up to Silver Frost, it would definitely not catch up to Silver Frost's weight advantage, as the super honeycomb structure was unique to X series fibers.

From this perspective, Silver Frost could at least be considered a 3.5 generation technology, while Kevlar was the king of second-generation materials. The gap between the two reached 1.5 generations.

No wonder Ding Songlin was so excited. It was also imaginable that before long, more high-ranking and influential figures in the military would receive this exhilarating news.

Han Chang looked out the window. Although it wasn't snowing in the Imperial Capital, a biting northwest wind was blowing, rustling the leaves with a harsh sound.

The reason why individual defense equipment was so important was that the situation was changing. There would inevitably be a war in the near future, a fact that every person in Huaxia understood.

Han Chang suddenly felt that Gao Yuan was actually quite a smart person. At this critical juncture, by consecutively releasing the X2 thermal fiber and the Silver Frost bulletproof fiber, he would undoubtedly leave an extremely deep impression on the military.

Silently, he garnered the goodwill and favor of numerous military bigwigs, and by the way, secured a massive military order. No matter how you looked at it, Gao Yuan had made a huge profit.

As per his agreement with Han Chang, Gao Yuan put away the experimental materials and notes from his research on Silver Frost, sealing them in the office next to his own. From then on, he never mentioned it again, as if he had never sent a batch of bulletproof fiber to the Imperial Capital.

"Are you all ready?" Gao Yuan went into Cao Feiyu's office and asked.

Cao Feiyu nodded. He didn't call an administrative clerk but took a folder from his drawer himself, tucked it under his arm, and followed Gao Yuan to the laboratory.

Despite having grown to over three hundred people, Kunlun Company's laboratory still felt somewhat peculiar.

After all, it was converted from a factory. The huge steel frame beams, concrete floors, and exposed ventilation ducts exuded a cyberpunk atmosphere.

The laboratory was filled with a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere. Although everyone had work to do, no one was in a hurry. They were conducting experiments while chatting about newly released movies or recent popular AAA games. When they felt tired, they would go to the pantry for a cup of coffee and rest for a while.

"Look, the boss is here!"

Upon seeing Gao Yuan, everyone quickly gathered around.

Xu Qingzhou said, "Boss, your esteemed presence, does it mean there's a new research and development task?"

Gao Yuan shook his head, "Not for now. After the successful launch of the X3 type elastic fiber, we've basically achieved full coverage in the area of apparel fabric fibers."

"Next, we will continue to improve the models and expand into other specialized fields, such as medical fibers and biochemical fibers. I believe with the potential of X series fibers, these are all achievable."

As Gao Yuan spoke of the company's future plans, it wasn't so much that the X fibers were powerful, but rather that the super honeycomb structure possessed by the X fibers was powerful. Regardless of the field of development, it had good potential, a fact that all the researchers were well aware of.

Clearing his throat twice, Gao Yuan said, "Next, our general manager, Cao Feiyu, will announce matters regarding the year-end bonus."

Amidst cheers, Cao Feiyu was pushed to the center of the crowd. Everyone was very happy because even Xu Qingzhou, who had been there the longest, had only worked for five months. Many researchers had just joined the company last month, and they were all getting a year-end bonus?

Of course, although Gao Yuan was not stingy, he also valued fairness greatly. Those who contributed more would naturally receive more bonuses. New employees contributed less, so their year-end bonuses would also be less. In any case, according to the principle of fairness, everyone would receive something, even the auntie helping in the cafeteria.

Cao Feiyu read out the year-end bonuses, the Spring Festival holiday arrangements, the company's new management regulations, personnel appointments, and so on.

Gao Yuan disliked listening to these things and quietly left the laboratory. Xu Qingzhou happened to see this and followed him.

"I have already submitted my resignation," Xu Qingzhou said directly. "Not only am I leaving, but Tan Qinggu, Xiao Hui, and Bai Hongyuan, these three senior brothers, also plan to leave the National Laboratory. I estimate that the next time you see Director Qin, even if you are familiar, he will get angry with you, after all, you've poached several of his key subordinates."

Gao Yuan was stunned and smiled, "This is truly good news. I was quite worried that you all wouldn't come back after the New Year. Who would have thought that not only would you stay, but Dr. Bai and the others are also staying."

Xu Qingzhou shrugged, "Although the national team is stable, the benefits are still relatively low. We can't even afford to buy a house. Senior Brother Bai has been married for three years and is still renting an apartment. This time he decided to stay, it was actually his wife's idea."

"The salary you are giving Senior Brother Bai now, even without the year-end bonus, is more than four times what he used to earn. Moreover, Senior Brother Bai admires you as a boss and likes the work atmosphere here. Coupled with his wife's insistence, he made up his mind to stay."

"The situation for the other senior brothers is similar; they were all pressured by the housing issue..."

Gao Yuan listened silently, feeling quite emotional.

On June 15, 2020, over ninety researchers at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, resigned overnight, causing a huge stir.

It's important to note that these were over ninety top elites, with the lowest educational attainment being a doctorate, and their ages generally in their thirties. Most of them were married with families and held national positions. Under normal circumstances, they would not have resigned so casually.

Gao Yuan pondered that there were likely two reasons: either the money wasn't enough, or they had been wronged.

The massive collective resignation was probably due to both.

Now, hearing Bai Hongyuan's reason for leaving the National Laboratory to join his company, Gao Yuan had a deeper understanding.

He absolutely could not let similar things happen in his company, as the most valuable asset of a research-oriented enterprise is talent.

"Because I was too busy during the New Year holiday, I didn't give you any time off. Now I'm asking Cao Feiyu to make it up to you. Let's go to Sanya for a week on the company's dime. We've booked a five-star hotel, and you can bring your wives and children. I hope you all have a great time." Gao Yuan said.

Xu Qingzhou frowned, "What, you're not going?"

Gao Yuan smiled, "It's time to charge the tower. I can't get away."

"Challenging the tower?" Dr. Xu Qingzhou asked suspiciously.

Gao Yuan said, "The X1 type fiber is aimed at DuPont, and the X2 type fiber challenges those Japanese synthetic fiber giants. So, do you know whose market the X3 type will impact when it's released in large quantities?"

Pfft~

Dr. Xu Qingzhou couldn't help but laugh, "I know, I know. I just think DuPont Group is really unlucky to have been targeted by you again."

"The X1 type took out their flagship product, COOLMAX, and the X3 type is targeting their famous Lycra!"
